Changi wins best airport award - again

CHANGI Airport has been named the world's best airport in an annual global survey of travellers - its second consecutive win.

South Korea's Incheon International Airport came in second while Munich Airport bagged the bronze.

The World Airport Awards are based on a survey by London-based research firm Skytrax. This year, the firm received 12.85 million nominations from air travellers of 110 nationalities. More than 400 airports worldwide were evaluated.

The survey evaluates customer satisfaction across 39 key performance indicators, including shopping, check-in, and security and immigration.

Skytrax's chief executive officer, Mr Edward Plaisted, said: "Changi Airport offers a travel experience in itself and continues to develop its quality standards to be named the world's favourite airport again."

Hazy conditions persist in Singapore

Hazy conditions persist in Singapore

Hazy conditions continued to affect Singapore on Thursday, with the 3-hour PSI hitting a high of 87 at 8pm - the highest so far this year.

But there could be some reprieve on Friday.

The National Environment Agency website forecasts showers over southern and western Singapore in the late afternoon.

NEA said on Tuesday that the haze could be attributed to smoke plumes from the hot spots in southern Johor, blown in by the prevailing northeasterly winds.
